To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before 3: Always And Forever drops official trailer
Dear TATBILB fans, in case you missed it, Lana Condor and Noah Centineo are back for the third and last instalment of Netflix’s To All The Boys movie series. Jumping off from the events of P.S. I Love You, Lana’s Lara Jean Covey and Noah’s Peter Kavinsky navigate new challenges in their relationship as they start deciding on their university life in TATBILB 3.
Will the life-changing circumstances they’ll go through — you know, after overcoming their fake-turned-real relationship in the first film to the issue with Jen in the second one — be the final breaking point of their relationship? We’d have to wait until 12 February 2021 to find out.

Nudake Seoul officially opens on 24 February.
